Tarwin Lower information and attractions

Introduction:

Tarwin Lower is a small community located on the banks of the Tarwin River, just 5 kilometres east of the popular coastal resort of Venus Bay and under an hour's drive from the heart of Wilsons Promontory National Park.

The town centre features a general store, the Riverview Hotel, and a few other commercial outlets.

The wide Tarwin River meanders through the town, offering a number of attractive picnic, walking and fishing spots. Fronting the river in the town centre is the Long Table - a 35 metre picnic table made from a single length of wood.
